Personally, I turn my lights on at 6:30 in the morning so the fish are awake and active when I go feed them. Then I turn off the lights at 9:00 at night. Keep in mind that the longer your lights are on the more prone you will be to algae.

Do you keep your light on all the time? Turn it off at night our during the day? How many hours do you leave it on or off?

Hello Mom...

Aquarium fish and plants are for the most part tropical, so they're used to long hours of daylight. I have my tank lights on timers set for 12 hours on and 12 off. The lights come on at 6 A.M. and go off at 6 P.M. Pretty simple.
